Why Did the Chicken
Cross the Road?

To get to Kid's Creek, of course!

Kid's Creek Therapy will be closed for two weeks from December 23 through January 3 and will reopen on Monday, January 6 while we move into our new clinic space.  However, we will open on two Saturdays prior to the closure - December 7 and 14 - to offer makeup sessions to our families who need them. 

To schedule alternative sessions to make up for dates during the closure, please call the front desk at 770-888-5221  and we will make these accommodations for you. Call soon for Saturday sessions, as these appointments are limited.

Stop 'n' Shop Next Week!

Have you ever wished you had any of the toys, therapy equipment, or other items in the Kid's Creek Therapy clinic at home? Well, now's your chance!

In preparation for the move, the week of December 9-14 we will have a "Stop 'n' Shop" sale set up in one of the rooms. We will have toys, therapy materials and some furniture pieces available to purchase - many items for only $1.00! All proceeds will go toward the purchase of therapy equipment for the new clinic.
Get to Know You: Emily McCabe

In Get to Know You, we ask our staff a few questions to give our families a peek into who they are as people, not simply providers. This month's Get to Know You features
Physical Therapist Emily McCabe.

Who is your hero? My mother is definitely my hero, she is strong, courageous, and extremely smart. Her support and example are a huge part of why I am where I am today!
What is your favorite thing about your career? Being a physical therapist mixes all of the things that I love together. I love physical activity and helping kids reach their highest potential through movement and fun. I am very passionate about learning and this career is one where I am surrounded by so many other intelligent therapists who continuously teach me new things!

What is your proudest accomplishment? My proudest accomplishment is becoming a PT. It was so challenging but it has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done!

Have you ever had a nickname? What is it? My nickname growing up was my maiden name, "Walters". It was always both my younger brothers nickname and mine, so it got confusing at times! Some of my oldest friends still call me that even though I am married and have a new name!

If you had to describe yourself as an animal, which one would it be? I have always loved dolphins. They are very intuitive and smart animals and I strive to display those qualities in my profession and personal life. I also love to swim! :)
OT Victoria Wood is Now an Author!

Sensory processing disorder is a complex group of symptoms which follows no specific pattern and often elicits unwanted behavior. Those who struggle with this disorder, or are caring for a loved one with these symptoms, need a guide to help navigate their home and community. This guide can assist caregivers, individuals, families, therapists, and teachers untangle the web of senses in order to give correct guidance and assistance. It can be read cover to cover for optimal learning, or by selected chapters as needed.
